adventurous dark tense fast-paced

suffers pretty horribly from male author syndrome. every male character that isnt a main character is disgusting and a rapist
i mean by chapter 19, the main chara happened on two people fucking a second time. is it supposed to be teehee haha? the second time, it felt like it was a rape, since the girl in question was not enjoying it and had a look of alarm on her face?
quote:  “The girl kept looking around, anxious and yet bored, like she’d prefer to look at anything else than what was being done to her.” 
"than what was being done to her" makes it sound like she doesnt want it
its so boring (and insensitive) to make the bad guy a rapist.  the look this guy is the bad guy, hes a rapist! like i can see he was bad with what he wanted to build, what with taking over the world with those items 
orso quote: "opened like a schoolgirls legs." so another rape and pedophilia joke. 
again when sancia is captured tomas threatens to rape her and then a guard later on also threatens to rape her. author might need to be investigated.
the writing is kind of dog shit.
why does Clef speak so modernly seeing as he was trapped "in a dark place" for apparently a thousand years? its very jarring, he speaks the exact same as sancia does. in fact, it felt like he was supposed to be a bit of the funny comedy relief character but just his language didnt make sense to me

its sad, i quite like the world and the story. mostly
